Edward Sabine to Faraday   12 August 1829

14 [word illegible] Greenwich

Dear Faraday,

Can you meet me at Somerset House after one o’clock tomorrow, and before five? I shall have the book with me; there are some few letters that have passed in some chance that I wish to shew you. It is of no great importance.

Pray write to Mr. Daniell to send you the letter which I addressed to him stating the qualifications & recommendations of Mr. Ritchie1 as a lecturer at the R.I. I took some trouble to write a proper letter on the occasion2.

Truly Yours | Edward Sabine.

12h. August.


Address: Michael Faraday Esq | Royal Institution | Albemarle St

William Ritchie (1790-1837, DNB). Natural philosopher.
